I can't wait to see that film on screen here in the Philippines. I just hope it doesn't suffer the same case Pasion's Jay did and will eventually get released for at least a week in local cinemas.<br />-----<br />-Spock!<A HREF="“www.guitarexchange.com.au”" REL="nofollow">Mesa Boogie </A> Yourself, <A HREF="“www.guitarexchange.com.au”" REL="nofollow">ESP </A>Man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-6182027472324266922008-06-08T04:57:00.000-04:002008-06-08T04:57:00.000-04:00Noel, both Serbis and Now Showingare going to be s...Noel, both Serbis and Now Showing<BR/>are going to be shown in this year French film festival. <BR/><BR/>http://www.alliance.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=25&Itemid=142&limit=1&limitstart=2Saber Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293296405937080626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-45406350428047175832008-06-03T20:48:00.000-04:002008-06-03T20:48:00.000-04:00Not right off hand, but I can probably track someo...Not right off hand, but I can probably track someone down and drop them a line.

I never expect such endeavors to be easy, but any push in the right direction—assuming a direction exists—would be only graciously appreciated. I’d love to check out some Malay or Philippine cinema (or basically anything by relatively local filmmakers not named Jack Neo) in-theater or on video/DVD. Is this possible in Cineplex-saturated Singapore?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886327237164498618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-41596173456966521592008-06-02T16:14:00.000-04:002008-06-02T16:14:00.000-04:00Not sure about this, but it's possible some of Bur...Not sure about this, but it's possible some of Burnett's higher profile features--TV movies even--may have a bigger budget than some Filipino films.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-35441939698028334652008-06-02T11:38:00.000-04:002008-06-02T11:38:00.000-04:00I liked very much your comments on "Defining momen...I liked very much your comments on "Defining moments in cinema". I only knew about philippino cinema through Lino Brocka features and i have discovered (with a great effort) several movies from Mike de Leon and others). I am impressed with Conrado Baltazar.
